Is there anything more show-stopping than a smoked prime rib coming off the grill?
As with any large beef roast, low and slow always returns superior results. This reverse seared method utilizes the Big Green Egg ceramic cooker, but it can be achieved on any grill or in the oven. Simply follow the time and temperature guidelines for maximum results.
Seasoning can be done up to 48 hours in advance to allow the rub to penetrate the meat. Leave the roast in the refrigerator overnight.

Many call for a cooking temp at 300 or 325. I like lower temps as the rare to med rare is even throughout the entire roast. I never go much higher than 110 internal, since it will continue to cook while resting. Rest at leaqst 20 to 30 minutes. Good time to make your Yorkshire Pudding.
